Luck overtakes

Sometimes, but probably most of the times, I do not understand decisions of the top managers.

There is a huge Company “American Eagle Tankers”.

Logically, they've got ships. And the ships are operated by multinational crews. By multinational it is safe to say Asians. Some people do not know, but Indians also belong to that term.

That Company had tradition of raising Officer by sponsoring cadets and sending them to study in Malaysia.

I do not know how, but my brother's technical school attracted their attention. Maybe they wanted young guys, without education, but who proved their intention to join life at Sea by studying 3 years in that school.

They held interview and some 30 boys including my brother who barely knew English passed.

He received lucky ticket to Malaysian Academy.

He dramatically improved his English. I saw their Academy's facilities. They surpass by leaps in bounds our National Academy. I heard about low level of corruption in Malaysia and he only confirmed that. So I can be sure in the education he received.

He had completed his education among the best in his batch. Actually he passed exams earlier. He is about to get his working license and join vessel as a Deck Officer.

I am also proud of his strong will and that he overcame so many obstacles.
